Hello
I may be in the wrong place
I just want to understand specs for a SCSI controller
When it is specified as "Dual Channel"
what exactly does that mean?
What can I do with 2 channels that I can't do with one channel? does it have more connections?
can I for example, set up mirrored drives with a single channel card?

You could connect one channel to the internal backplane in your server, and the other channel to an external enclosure like a PV220.
